Long Island native Alec Baldwin is blogging on the New York Governor's Race:

Eliot Spitzer versus anyone: Tom Suozzi, who has been taking one long, uninterrupted bow for fixing Nassau County's finances (which could only go up, by the way) for some time now wants to be Governor. He thinks he's better for the job than Eliot. The difference between Spitzer and Suozzi is the difference between a bazooka and a water pistol. New Yorkers, after THREE TERMS of the inconceivably dull and uninspiring Pataki, are dreaming of Spitzer as Governor. Truly. Eliot Spitzer will make for one of the greatest public servants in NY history. Suozzi should drop out.

If Suozzi is taking "one, long uninterrupted bow" for pulling Nassau County from the brink of financial ruin, it would be interesting to hear Baldwin describe Spitzer's self-congratulations for suing Wall Street firms after the dot.com collapse.

Name-brand Democrats are beginning to treat Suozzi like the new Joe Lieberman/Zell Miller. Which means Suozzi either wins the Democratic primary in September, or starts planning for his new career in consulting once his book tour is finished.
